Link to the webinar on the G Drive Training - Google Drive –  Ref RP158 Preparing for Autumn Term  

Aims of Autumn Term webinar:

• Remind school and college leaders of Step 4 changes to Covid safety measures.
• Provide an update on vaccinations.
• Support preparations for testing at the start of the Autumn term.
• Provide update on managing COVID cases in settings.
• Answer FAQs:

1. 1. Self-Isolation: Should staff who choose not to be vaccinated be paid when isolating for ten days?
   2. ATS: Why are settings being asked to stand up on-site testing for students first two tests in September rather than going straight to home testing?
   3. What definition of ‘close contact’ will be used by NHS Test and Trace in educational settings? Will the PHE definition of ‘close contact’ still apply to educational settings?
   4. Contact tracing: What if a setting doesn’t agree with the close contacts that have been identified by one of their pupils, students or legal guardian?
   5. What’s taken the Government so long to make this announcement on ventilation? Scotland, the Republic of Ireland and other countries internationally already have a strategy in place?
